Kurt Fuller: Hollywood's go to tv exec

[Kevin Hamilton]

So I'm watching The Running Man (great movie obviously) and the actor Kurt Fuller shows up working for Dawson's tv network. Got me to thinking, between this, Wayne's World and No Holds Barred he was THE tv network character in the 80s&90s.

What an oddly specific little niche for an actor to have.

Any others you can think of, or another tv Kurt was a tv exec?

Bob Balaban. He played Warren Littlefield in the Late Shift and was Russell on Seinfeld.

Kurt Fuller also played the news director that Dave Nelson replaced in the series premiere of Newsradio, so please add Radio Exec to his resume.

I had thought he played a tv or stage exec in one of Christopher Guest's movies but I guess not.

But he did play the Lorne Michaels-esque tv exec in BOB ROBERTS.
